Does the institution have at least one formal sustainability partnership with the local community that meets the criteria as “supportive”?:
A brief description of the institution’s supportive sustainability partnership(s) with the local community:
The Office of Sustainability regularly partners with the Platteville Main Street Sustainability Committee to host community events such as movie showings, organize an annual creative bike rack competition, and, recentlyn has helped organize a new community garden in the city. The University Sustainability Office committees both staff time and some financial resources to make these events happen.
Does the institution have at least one formal sustainability partnership with the local community that meets the criteria as “collaborative”?:
A brief description of the institution's collaborative sustainability partnership(s):
The University plays a substantial role in the Platteville Community Arboretum (PCA), a community non-profit that restores native areas in the community and helps manage over 8 miles of trails abutting campus and connecting throughout our community. The University not only has several employees as dedicated board members and frequently co-sponsor activities (such as trail races, litter pick ups, and restoration areas), but we also recently made a $50,000 in-kind donation to the PCA's trail pavement and lighting initiative. This collaborative partnership is ongoing and year-round.
